The Los Angeles music scene is one of the hardest markets in the country to be an honest self reflecting music artist in. Surrounded by musicians who either play in 3 or 4 groups at a time or try to follow the trends to generate some momentary fleeting attention for themselves and not necessarily their music, ???Stereo 360??? is a notable difference. Focused and driven by the messages in their songs, ???Stereo 360??? builds upon the musical and songwriting influences of past and present artists such as Nirvana, Cheap Trick, Split Enz and The Cars. Artists who all emphasized melodic guitar-driven Alternative Pop/Rock songs that featured an epic rock drama to them. These elements can all be found in their debut EP, Quadruple.
This debut release acts as an introduction into the group?s philosophy and ideas. A message to take an honest look as to where you are in your life. To question yourself about what is real and what is not? These messages can be clearly seen in songs such as Superstar and Sick Of You. Superstar, a song which brings to light the shallow and arrogant desire of some other artists to not use their music as a source of communication with others but only as a source of financial hunger. While the song, Sick Of You, questions why you choose at times to live in a state of depression. One in which you hate everything about your life including the people around you.
In a time when we are flooded by a resurgence of one hit wonders, it is refreshing to see that a group like ???Stereo 360??? not only cares what is in their music, they make sure that it comes out loud and clear.
